Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Ajax are at 1/8 to win, a draw is at 8/1, and an ADO win is at 14/1.
Ajax will begin play in this weekend's Eredivisie fixtures in second place on 57 points. They remain the chasers, five points behind PSV but they have hope now after the leaders slipped up and drew last weekend. That means that after four straight wins and 13 points from their last 15 available that they are back in contention for the title if they can push on from here.
ADO will start the weekend in eighth place, putting them just one spot below the top seven and the valuable Europa League playoff places. They are on 35 points at the moment, making them just two behind Vitesse for the final playoff spot. With a win, they could jump into that place with the right result from elsewhere. They have showed good recent form with two wins and two draws in the last four matches.
At home, Ajax have been very good but not perfect. They have lost twice- the only points they have dropped at home- in their ten matches. Four of the five points that they trail PSV by have come from this route essentially. With that said, they have won each of their last five and are picking up some serious steam. As for ADO's away record, they are pretty much middle of the road. In 11 matches, they have taken 14 points, putting them above the worst teams in the table by some way. With that said, they have not won any of their last four on the road and have only two points from that stretch.
A no for both teams to score, via Ladbrokes, is set at 5/6.
ADO have been chasing down the top seven spots in the league, and they could get there soon if they continue to put results together. A loss in this match is expected, but it should not totally derail them.
Erik ten Hag will be missing goalkeeper Benjamin van Leer, center back Nick Viergever, left back Daley Sinkgraven, winger Vaclav Cerny, and forward Kasper Dolberg, all due to injuries.
With rumors swirling that Barcelona are potentially looking into going with a new Dutch revolution of sorts, a number of names in this current Ajax side have been linked with the Catalan giants. One of those is midfielder Donny van de Beek. The 20 year old has been superb all season, scoring nine goals and providing a lot of great play out of the middle.
Ajax have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:
0-1 win at PEC
2-1 home win vs Twente
2-4 win at Roda
3-1 home win vs NAC
0-0 draw at Utrecht
Alfons Groenendijk is missing wingers Melvyn Lorenzen and Ricardo Krishna due to injury concerns.
This run of form from ADO has been impressive, and so, too, has the play of striker Bjorn Johnsen. The Norwegian striker has scored ten times so far this season to lead his side, and he had a goal last weekend to help them come back from a goal down and end up going on to three points in the end. His recent form has been quite good, with five of his ten goals coming in the last seven games.
ADO have two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches:
2-1 home win vs Willem II
0-0 draw at Groningen
1-0 home win vs Vitesse
1-1 draw at Heracles
3-1 loss at Feyenoord
